Bishop Hill is a blog operated by Andrew Montford, a British climate-change sceptic and author of The Hockey Stick Illusion (2010). It is described as one of the main websites for global warming sceptics in the UK.
The blog has come to public attention several times in connection with the global warming debate. In November 2009, James Delingpole wrote in a Daily Telegraph blog that Bishop Hill had reported the funding of the Climate Outreach and Information Network charity—to the tune of £700,000 over two years—by the British Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
In February 2010, the Daily Mail reported that Paul Dennis, a British climate scientist, had posted an account on Montford's blog of Dennis's interview with police concerning their investigation into the unauthorized release of emails in November 2009 from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.
Also in February 2010, Philip Campbell, the editor-in-chief of Nature, resigned from the Independent Climate Change Email Review—hours after the panel was launched to review the release of the emails—after Bishop Hill and Britain's Channel 4 News publicised an interview Campbell had given in 2009 to China Radio International, in which he said there was no evidence of a coverup. The interview was first posted on the Bishop Hill blog. Channel 4 News reported: "The interview, posted on the Bishop Hill blog, run by climate sceptic Andrew Montford, will come as an embarrassment to the enquiry's chair Sir Muir Russell".
